the card gives no forename. The surname is written „Domaszowskiego” (with -ow-), just as in T90; in T89 (card 4), portion B) the same person is written „Domaszewskiego”.

a village, „w której szlachta ma różne dziedzictwa i posesje… prócz najznaczniejszego dziedzictwa Pawła Domaszewskiego, stolnika ziemi i podstarosty grodzkiego łukowskiego” (in which the nobility have divers hereditary estates and holdings… apart from the most considerable hereditary estate of Paweł Domaszewski, pantler of the Land and deputy castle starost of Łuków) [O83 (IX), card 5)]. A large village and plainly dominated by one hand: in both registers of my part about 2/3 of the hearths fall to Domaszowski's holding (49 of 76 in 1775 [T75], 49 of 74 in 1790 [T90]), while the rest is broken up among a dozen or so part-holding possessors, at 1-10 hearths each. Hearths: 76 in 1775 [T75] and 74 in 1790 [T90]; the totals of the years 1789 („Razem 77 d.”) and 1794 („Razem – 74 dymów;-”) lie on the cards of part B. The population of 1787: 342 persons, among them 19 Jews [S87] — this is one of the more populous villages in this range. The name is recorded by Perthées — V48 gives „Domaszewnica”. NOTE: the the description of the village field quotes O83, that is a siglum of part B; it is quoted here only so that the description of the village should not be empty — the full O83 extract should be taken from the file of part B.

Caveats on the years' registers (5)
What the compiler noted beside the entry itself, and what the table above does not show:
- T75 — The total from the card „Ogółem dymów: 76” agrees with the entries: 49+10+6+4+2+1+1+1+1+1 = 76. No T75 entry is set out into buildings — the card gives the figures of hearths alone. The words „propinacja”, „browar”, „karczma”, „młyn” are nowhere in the whole of T75.
- T89 — The extract stands on card 4) (card no. 4). The name of the village in the heading of the extract is written „Domaszownica” (with -ow-), although the heading of the card has „Domaszewnica”. The card gives „Razem 77 d.”. In entries 1, 3 and 5 the compiler struck out the original „bez gruntu i ogr.” and replaced it with a ringed „ogr.” / „ogrod.”, with the figure „2” written above the correction; the corrections do not change the figures of hearths.
- T₀89 — The extract begins on card 5) (card no. 5) below O83 and runs on to card 6) (card no. 6), where it has the heading „T₀89 – c.d.”. A list of possessors, without hearths. NOTE: on none of the six cards of Domaszewnica IS THERE a brace with the vertical inscription „nie wysiewają 10 korcy”. The annotation „nie wys. 10 kor.” is here added separately beside particular entries (3, 6, 7), and beside entry 4 replaced by the word „podobnież”, which refers back to entry 3. Outside the vocabulary of the annotations remains the abbreviation „panszcz.” (pańszczyzna, corvée) beside entries 5, 8 and 9 — recorded only in the text of the extract and in the notes.
- T90 — The total from the card „Razem dymow 74” agrees with the entries: 49+7+8+4+2+1+1+1+1 = 74. No T90 entry is set out into buildings — the card gives the figures of hearths alone. The words „propinacja”, „browar”, „karczma”, „młyn” are nowhere in the whole of T90. The offering markers are transcribed literally, without being expanded.
- T94 — The extract stands on card 3) (card no. 3 within the village). The siglum is written twice: „T94.-” and below it, more faintly, „94.-”. Entries 1) and 5) too are written out twice on the card (the first writing pale, gone over on top) — these are corrections by the compiler, not separate holdings. The card itself gives „Razem - 74 dymów;-”.
The card-index entries
Every extract for this locality in the wording of the cards, year by year. One block is one occurrence: this person, in this year. At a collective item the same card text stands beside every person named — because the card names them together and they must not be separated. The hearths given at a collective item are an equal division among those named, not a reading.

the card gives no forename.
the card gives no forename; the sign „"” repeats the word „dymów” from entry 1.
the surname in the plural („Mysłowskich”) — the holding belongs to several Mysłowskis, but the card gives neither their forenames nor their number; one collective person is entered. The reading „Mysłowskich” was checked at sevenfold magnification (a clear crossed „ł”).
the card gives no forename.
the card gives no forename. In the middle of the surname, between „Ław” and „eckiego”, stands a thick cross striking out one letter — the copyist was correcting the writing. The form after the correction, „Ławeckiego”, agrees with T90 („Józefa Ławeckiego”) and T94 („Józefa Ławeckiego”). [reading uncertain — the struck-out letter]
the card gives no forename.
the card gives no forename. Świderski occurs in this village ONLY in T75 — in T90, T94 and T₀89 he is not there.

1789 T89Hearth tax register 1789
The only entry which begins with „dz.” (dziedzic, the hereditary owner), and not with „cz.” — hence the annotation „dziedzic”. 1+1+1+1+39+5+3+1 = 52 d. The gardeners' cottages the card names in two groups („5 chat. ogr.” and „3 chat. ogrod.”); in the breakdown of buildings they are added together under one key = 8. The figure „2” raised before the circled „ogr.” is a mark of correction, not a number of buildings — were it counted, the total would not give the 52 hearths stated by the card.
the card has the genitive „Dyzmana” (nominative Dyzman); in T90 and T94 of the same village „Dyzmy” (nominative Dyzma)
1+1+1+3+1+1 = 8 d. The figure „2” stands here at the beginning of the second line, before the circled „ogr.”, and looks to be of full height — but it is the same mark of correction as in entries 1 and 5 (raised there). A number of buildings it cannot be: counted in, it would give 10 instead of the 8 hearths stated by the card, and would burst the total of 77 [reading uncertain].
the card has „Jędrzeja”; in T90 and T94 of the same village „Andrzeja”
the card has „Jędrzeja”; in T90 and T94 of the same village „Andrzeja”
the same entry also names: Nurzyński Stanisław †2 persons on 1 hearth
Before „sukcesorów” a word struck out, probably „Józefa i” [reading uncertain]. Here both — Józef and Stanisław — are taken in by the word „sukcesorów”, and so both are marked as no longer living; in T90 and T94 of the same village stands „Stanisława i sukces. Józefa Nurzyńskich”, that is, Stanisław is still alive. A discrepancy between the sources, left without smoothing over. Two persons on one hearth.

1789 T₀89List of possessors of holdings of 1789
The heading line of the extract, before the numbered entries — hence the ordinal „0”. It concerns the grange; „propinacja.” added a little higher, at the end of the line.
the same entry also names: Nurzyński Józef †2 persons on a holding without hearths
The only entry in which the word „część” is written out in full; the later ones have the repetition mark („ ). The possessor's surname is broken at the end of the line: „Male-”, and the completion „cińskiego” is circled beneath and joined to the line with a loop — I read „Maleciński” [reading uncertain; the surname hitherto unattested in this neighbourhood].
the same entry also names: Maleciński Michał2 persons on a holding without hearths
The only entry in which the word „część” is written out in full; the later ones have the repetition mark („ ). The possessor's surname is broken at the end of the line: „Male-”, and the completion „cińskiego” is circled beneath and joined to the line with a loop — I read „Maleciński” [reading uncertain; the surname hitherto unattested in this neighbourhood].
„podobnież” refers back to the preceding entry, that is to „nie wys. 10 kor.” beside Andrzej Szczygielski.
The forename on the card is corrected — the middle letters struck out; in the end I read „Dyzmy” (nominative Dyzma) [reading uncertain as to the original writing]. „panszcz.” = pańszczyzna, the corvée — I do not open a marker from outside the vocabulary; the wording remains in the text of the extract.
The surname on the card is „Jesierskiego” (with -s-); in the surname the form is standardised to Jezierski. The last entry on card 5); its continuation stands on card 6).
The continuation of entry 6 on card 6) (card no. 6). The number of the entry before the bracket is blotted with thick ink and illegible; from the order (on card 5) it ends at 6, here 7, 8, 9 follow on) I read „6” [reading uncertain]. „Pracowity” = a term for the peasant estate; the holding of the castellan of Łuków is held by a peasant. The surname „Legar” is hitherto unattested in this neighbourhood [reading uncertain].
„panszcz.” = pańszczyzna, the corvée — I do not open a marker from outside the vocabulary.
The surname on the card with a double -ss-: „Nowossielskiego”; in the surname the form is standardised to Nowosielski. „panszcz.” = pańszczyzna, the corvée.
1790 T90Hearth tax register 1790
the surname on this card is „Domaszowskiego” (with -ow-), just as in T75; in T89 (card 4), portion B) „Domaszewskiego”. The card gives the office in shortened form („Stolnika i Podstarosty Łukows.”); T89 expands it: „stolnika ziemi łukow. i podstarosty grodz. łukow.”. The figure 49 underlined.
[reading uncertain — the name of the office]. The word before „Kawalerji Narodowej” begins with a looped letter which this hand writes as a „d” (identical with the „d” in „Andrzeja” in entry 6 of the same card); the letter has no stem below the line, and so it is NOT a „p”. The arrangement of the letters reads as „do-r-u-cz-n-i-ka”, that is „dorucznika”. In T₀89 (card 5), portion B) the same person has „porucz. kaw. nar.”, where the „p” has a clear stem below the line — it is therefore almost certainly a lieutenant of the National Cavalry that is meant, but on THIS card the letter „d” stands. I do not smooth the discrepancy over: the text is recorded as it stands. Checked at twentyfold magnification with sharpening. The surname: on this card after „Mys” stands a tall loop without a clear crossbar, so that this writing alone would admit „Mystowskiego” as well; I adopt „Mysłowskiego” after T75 from card 1), where the „ł” has a clear crossbar („cz. Mysłowskich”). Both forms — Mysłowski and Mystowski — are attested in SLOWNIK-OKOLICY.md, and so the list decides nothing.
the marker in this entry is written out as a word („płaci of”), not with the abbreviation „pł. of.” as in the others; transcribed literally. „dymow” without the stroke over the o — so on the card.
the same entry also names: Nurzyński Stanisław2 persons on 1 hearth
two persons (Stanisław Nurzyński and the successors of the deceased Józef Nurzyński) on ONE hearth — so the card gives it: the holding undivided, held in common. The marker „/pł. of./” is added in a separate line below the surname and refers to the whole entry.
the same entry also names: Nurzyński Józef †2 persons on 1 hearth
two persons (Stanisław Nurzyński and the successors of the deceased Józef Nurzyński) on ONE hearth — so the card gives it: the holding undivided, held in common. The marker „/pł. of./” is added in a separate line below the surname and refers to the whole entry.
1794 T94Hearth tax register 1794
The surname on this card is written with -ow-: „Domaszowskiego”; in T89 of the same village stands „Domaszewskiego”. In the surname the form is standardised to Domaszewski.
The entry is written twice on the card, one above the other (a correction by the scribe).
the same entry also names: Nurzyński Stan[isław]2 persons on 1 hearth
Two persons on one hearth — the card takes both holdings together. The surname stands once, in the plural („Nurzyńskich”).
the same entry also names: Nurzyński Józef †2 persons on 1 hearth
Two persons on one hearth — the card takes both holdings together. The surname stands once, in the plural („Nurzyńskich”).
O83 O83A description of 1783 [the expansion of the siglum to be confirmed]
A short description of the village — without figures and without a list of holdings, hence the hearths figure empty. The Roman numeral in brackets („IX”) is underlined, as on the other cards of O83. The word „różne” is added in a fainter hand and outlined [reading uncertain]. The ellipsis after „posesje” stands on the card — the compiler shortened the quotation. The word „podstarosty” is broken between the lines („pod- / starosty”). O83 names here neither an inn, nor a brewery, nor a mill, although T89 notes beside the hereditary owner 1 brewery, 1 inn and 1 mill.
This locality in the full edition of the hearth-tax registers — together with a search across all persons, a modern map, Perthées’s engraving of 1786 and a statistical summary.
